Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَوْ (And if) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Conditional (if/when)
وَلَوْ (And if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".
Sahih International
And if there was any Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] by which the mountains would be removed or the earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak, [it would be this Qur’ān], but to Allāh belongs the affair entirely. Then have those who believed not accepted that had Allāh willed, He would have guided the people, all of them? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will descend near their home - until there comes the promise of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh does not fail in [His] promise.
